#2 Advise and Assist Brigade, not a combat brigade.

A rose by any other name ...

Words matter. The name was changed so that Bambi can tell the left wing of the left wing that all combat forces are out of Iraq? The American people are not that stupid.

#3 The American people aren't, Mike, but the hard left are head-deep in willing disbelief. They'll accept this because O'Bumble said "all combat troops" are out.

Sometimes I think the left is schizophrenic - by design.

#4 They'll accept this because O'Bumble said "all combat troops" are out

Tomorrow, he can tell them that Gitmo is "closed".
